About Iska Iska
Iska Iska pollymetallic project is a road accessible, royalty-free property, wholly-controlled by the
Title Holder, Empresa Minera Villegas S.R.L. and is located 48 km north of Tupiza city, in the
Sud Chichas Province of the Department of Potosi. The property can be classified as a
polymetallic (Ag, Zn, Pb, Au, Cu, Bi, Sn, In) epithermal-porphyry complex. This is an important
mineral deposit type in Bolivia.
Geological mapping on the property by Eloro has revealed the spatial and temporal zonation of
alteration and vein minerals in an area of about 5 square kilometres. The polymetallic
mineralization occurs mainly as veins, subsidiary vein swarms, veinlets, stockworks, and
disseminations, forming a subvertical vein system in both the stock and the volcanic and
sedimentary rocks. Preliminary evaluation work including 42 channel samples in underground
and on surface workings at Iska Iska returned significant results as summarized below. All of the
channel samples included altered wall rock with widths ranging between 1.20 to 5.55 m,
averaging 2.90 m (see Eloro’s press release dated October 8, 2019 for further details).
Silver. Anomalous silver values range between 35.5-694 g/t Ag (46% of channel samples).
Gold. Anomalous gold values range between 0.31-28.6 g/t Au (42% of channel samples).
Zinc. Anomalous zinc values range between 1.05-16.95% Zn (37% of channel samples).
Lead. Anomalous lead values range between 0.41- 16.95% Pb (49% of channel samples).
Copper. Anomalous copper values range between 0.1->1% (22% of channel samples).
